A brilliant parable for our times, combining impish humour with social fury. --The Stage
Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless, and desperate for somewhere to call home.
Nikita's work with young migrants requires her to keep her savior complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.
Sonali Bhattacharyya's play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity--and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering me, not us, and definitely me first.
